EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a bird with a head for heights! Meet the stealthy daredevil, CAN-3172, also known as the Lesser Kestrel. This photo captures this magnificent raptor in its natural element - perched on an old rooftop tile in Spain. Don't let its small size fool you; this feisty falcon is a force to be reckoned with! Known for its incredible agility and hunting prowess, the Lesser Kestrel has mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Who needs fancy nests when you can tuck yourself away under some good ol' roof tiles? It's like having your own private penthouse suite! But don't be fooled by its secretive nature - this bird is anything but shy when it comes to showing off those stunning feathers. With vibrant shades of brown and black contrasting against a striking yellow beak, it's no wonder why these kestrels are considered avian fashionistas. While other birds may prefer trees or cliffs for their homes, our fearless friend here has chosen an unconventional hideout that offers both shelter and prime hunting opportunities. Talk about multitasking! So next time you find yourself strolling through the streets of Spain, keep an eye out for these aerial acrobats gracefully soaring above rooftops. And if luck is on your side, maybe you'll catch a glimpse of CAN-3172 doing what it does best - being one cool customer!
